The 'G.I. Joe' Trailer Explodes Online

An international version of the full-length G.I. Joe trailer arrived online yesterday, but we decided to wait a little while longer for the domestic trailer -- and here it is, courtesy of MySpace. A lot of these web guys make me laugh; some of them think Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is Epic OMG FTW Awesome, but then crap on G.I. Joe by calling it silly, lame and a waste of time. Truthfully, it's apples and oranges to me -- they're both big-budgeted boxes of popcorn entertainment that don't promise to be anything more than "Wow, that looked pretty cool."
And since yesterday brought the new trailer for Transformers 2, it's kinda fitting that today we get the new one for G.I. Joe -- since they're both based on '80s toy lines, they both feature more explosions than I care to count and they both feature good guys battling the kind of bad guys who are hell-bent on destroying EVERYTHING! (Except, when it comes to G.I. Joe, they seem to be going after the French first.) Anyway, check out the G.I. Joe trailer below, and let us know what you think (you've probably already figured out my favorite part ...).

You have the admit, the TF2 trailer looks fun with groundbreaking effects while the GI Joe trailer looks like something that "The Asylum" company would push straight to video.

Why do they have magical suits that make them move faster?
This is stupid. I loved GI Joe and think it has awesome potential as a live action movie, but, this looks kinda stupid.
I'll still go check it out, but, come on, guys, suits that accelerate you? Focus less on this and the cool characters of GI Joe, and the awesome evil plots of Cobra.

Yeah, the gap between what people have to say about 'Transformers 2' and 'GI Joe' is huge. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
I mean right out of the gate:
'G.I. Joe' with Ray Park and Joseph Gordon-Levitt = +2
'Transformers 2' with Shia Lebuff = -5

Wow, Cinematical forgot to inform us that Hollywood had made a reboot of "Team America, World Police", seriously, what kind of idiot would destroy the Eiffel Tower after that movie? Secret lairs, American Dream Team supremacy, older guy who puts the team together, outsider who wants in, unique planes...
What a turd! Where the hell is GI Joe in this? The point was that each one was unique and colorful, that made characters cool. Acceleration suits my ass. Thanks for effing my childhood joy.

There's no gap in my opinions between Joe & TF2; they both look equally bad to me and I will be passing on both.
